LDC’s Health and Safety Policy Statement.

The Company recognises its responsibilities under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and other relevant safety legislation with regards to its employees and others who may be affected.

The Company will provide such information, training, supervision, plant and equipment as necessary, to identify, eliminate or control hazards and risks at the workplace. Adequate resources will be provided for this purpose.

Any Company employee who supervises or managers the use of work equipment shall have received adequate training for the purposes of health and safety, including training in the methods which may be adopted when using the work equipment, any risks which such use may entail and precautions to be taken.

All employees and subcontractors are expected to co-operate with the Company in carrying out this Policy and must ensure that their own work, so far as is reasonably practicable, is carried out without risk to themselves or others.

The Board of Directors has appointed John Wheeler as having particular responsibility for Health, Safety and Welfare and to whom reference should be made in the event of any difficulty arising in the implementation of this Policy.

The Management and staff of the Company will monitor the operation of this Policy. To assist in this respect, the Company has appointed Safety Services (UK) Ltd as Safety Advisers to give advise on the requirements of the relevant statutory provisions and safety matters and, on request, to visit sites and workplaces to ensure compliance.
